We're with Fouad Makhzoumi for Episode 317 of The Beirut Banyan.
We compare this year's parliamentary elections with 2005 and 2009 and examine what can be done that is different to earlier attempts at reform.
Our conversation includes avoiding repetition that leads to paralysis, policies that would undermine Iran's security position in Lebanon and on the ground campaigning in Beirut.
Fouad Makhzoumi is MP candidate in Beirut 2 district.
